Why go there?

Go beyond Virgin Islands National Park's 7,000 acres of lush landscapes and pristine Caribbean coastline. Hike to historic plantation sites to learn about a challenging past when sugar and enslaved labor dominated life on the island. Visit the Indigenous Taino's ancient petroglyphs. Snorkel coral reefs to discover hidden marine life. Two-thirds of the island of St. John is national park, making it a unique destination for visitors.
